What You’ll Make

By the end of this class, you'll have: • 25 fully quilted blocks, each featuring its own free motion design • A completed 70 x 70 rag quilt sampler • A personal library of FMQ designs you can use on any quilt • Muscle memory, confidence, and movement control Each block becomes a piece of your final quilt, so no practice goes to waste.

What You’ll Learn Inside the Class

You’ll work through a curated sequence of lessons that guide you from simple movement exercises into more advanced motifs. We begin with the basics like meander, loops, and pebbles, then move into swirls, ribbon candy, and S-curves. From there, you’ll explore squiggle lines, simple feathers, vine and leaf designs, paisley drops, the string of pearls feather, and finally, creative combinations like swirls with tendrils. Each design builds naturally on the one before it, so your confidence and control grow steadily as you progress through the class.
